Embodiment Construction

[0026]Graphics 1 and 2-52 are screen shots illustrated the method and system of a preferred embodiment of the invention. The invention involves both a system, implemented by a website, and a method of decision making and planning using the system, as well as software that controls the illustrated displays, and a taxonomic table utilized by the system and method of the invention.

[0027]In its broadest form, the invention depends on the concept of “plays,” and involves the presentation of a series of “plays” to a decision maker or planner, and a means and methodology for selecting and utilizing the plays. The plays are presented in the form of a taxonomic table, an example of which is illustrated in Graphics 1-15.

[0028]According to a preferred implementation of the invention, each play is represented by a symbol or icon, and the table is displayed in the form of chart containing the icons arranged in classes and subclasses. In particular, the plays are categorized by classes, each clas...

Abstract

A decision-making and planning system and method, which may be implemented as a website, enables a decision maker to formulate strategies and tactics divides potential courses of action into discrete units called “plays” and “surrogates,” and presents the plays and surrogates as symbols or icons organized into a taxonomic table, with definitions and information useful in selecting the plays associated with and accessible through the symbols or icons. The decision-maker selects plays from the table and places symbols or icons representing the plays on a template or whiteboard. The result is an analysis or map of strategies, including a sequence of plays and / or surrogates and corresponding information, that can be saved, edited, or published.

Description

[0001]This application claims the benefit of provisional U.S. Patent Application Ser. No. 60 / 839,410, filed Aug. 23, 2006.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]This invention relates to a computer-implemented decision-making system and method that enables a decision maker to formulate strategies and tactics, by dividing completed or potential courses of action into irreducible units called “plays,” and / or by utilizing three kinds of third-parties, referred-to herein as “surrogates.” The plays and surrogates are presented as symbols or icons organized into a taxonomic table, with definitions and information useful in selecting the plays associated with and accessible through the symbols or icons.[0004]In addition to the taxonomic table, the invention provides a methodology that helps decision makers sequence and pattern their moves or plays, and a resource that lists “factors” that influence plays and helps the decision maker fine tune the course of action.[...
